Skin Aging

What Is Skin Aging?

Skin aging is a natural biological process characterized by the gradual loss of the skin’s structural integrity and youthful appearance. As we age, our skin undergoes both intrinsic (chronological) aging determined by genetics and extrinsic aging caused by environmental factors like sun exposure and lifestyle choices.

Key signs of aging skin include:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Loss of elasticity and firmness
  • Thinning skin texture
  • Volume loss and facial sagging
  • Dryness and dullness
  • Uneven skin tone and texture

These changes occur primarily because our skin produces less collagen and elastin—the proteins responsible for skin’s structure and bounce—while cell turnover slows dramatically. In younger skin, cell turnover occurs approximately every 28 days, but by age 50, this process can take up to 50-60 days, and in more mature skin, it can extend to 90 days. This slowing of cellular renewal contributes significantly to the visible signs of aging, as dead skin cells accumulate on the surface, diminishing radiance and smoothness.

Additionally, the skin’s moisture barrier weakens with age, resulting in reduced hydration and resilience. Studies show that by age 60, skin produces about 60% less oil than it did at age 20, contributing to the characteristic dryness and crepe-like appearance of mature skin.

Treatment Approaches

At Healthy Glow Aesthetics, we take a multi-dimensional approach to addressing skin aging:

Professional Treatments:

  • Advanced anti-aging facials with professional-grade active ingredients
  • Chemical peels to stimulate cell renewal and collagen production
  • Microneedling to boost collagen synthesis and improve skin texture
  • LED red light therapy to energize skin cells and reduce inflammation
